FORT MYERS, Fla. -- While warming up in the bullpen, Erick Fedde admitted to being a little nervous. It was only a Grapefruit League game at the end of February, but this was his first time facing Major League hitters.

"It's up there as one of my favorite baseball moments for sure," said Fedde, the Nats' No.2 prospect as rated by MLBPipeline.com and No. 60 overall. "I mean, it was cool. I know it was only Spring Training, but I had some butterflies and stuff you still chase in the games. It was up there for sure, in the top three moments."

Fedde is in his second year after Tommy John surgery and he says his arm finally feels 100 percent. He made strides last season and is rising up the prospect rankings as he continues to build arm strength following the surgery.
